What Our Clients Say

 
Calvin is the best decision we made with our wedding hands down

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I love Calvin and his work. I had a vision in my head and he came through in so many ways. He made me feel comfortable because he was so professional and friendly. His creativity and style are so unique. I didn’t want the stereotypical engagement or wedding photos. I wanted something unique to me and Calvin captured that effortlessly. Calvin will do anything like climb any mountain, glacier, or get in a helicopter to capture your special moment. I highly recommend."


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Where do I even begin? Calvin is not only an incredible photographer, but a true artist. With Calvin, your photos aren’t going to look copied and pasted like anyone else’s—your photos will look all your own. Calvin is a master at his craft, his energy and enthusiasm bring the best out of his subjects, and he has a true eye for beauty. His talent is unmatched and you won’t find another photographer like him, especially in the Reno/Tahoe area. My husband and I wanted our wedding to be captured on film (no easy feat) to best represent our styles, and I wanted our story to come across like a high-end wedding editorial. I’m still at a loss for just how well Calvin made this dream come true. Not only did he deliver on all artistic fronts, but he was kind, funny, and even built a custom camera for our wedding. We are over the moon. Calvin—we can’t thank you enough!"


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Calvin is the best decision we made with our wedding hands down. He is professional, enthusiastic, and his creative talent is unlike any other. We have had non-stop compliments on both our engagement photos and wedding photos. We typically feel pretty awkward in front of the camera, but he makes you feel so comfortable. If you appreciate a unique point of view & want your wedding photos to be different than all the others, Calvin is your guy. He will do anything to get THE epic shot for you. As the bride, he matched my energy perfectly and not only calmed me down while getting ready to walk down the aisle, but we were giggling and having so much fun. He even let me borrow his portable speaker because we forgot one for the getting ready area. He’s a very kind person and was such a memorable part of our special day. We feel so lucky we snagged him. Thank you Calvin!!!♥️"


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Our wedding is still a few months away, but I have to say how much we appreciate Calvin! We had to reschedule our engagement photos a few times because of COVID, and he was always very responsive and amazing. At our engagement photo shoot, we hiked through the snow to get the best shots, and he helped us catch our dog when she got off her leash. Cannot wait for Calvin to be our photographer on our big day!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Calvin was extremely professional, and made me and my partner extremely comfortable. What made him stand out from regular photographers I’ve worked with was that he used a custom camera for our photos. This made the experience extra special for my partner and myself. If you want to have photos done by a true Reno native, Calvin Hobson is who you need to work with. His photos are timeless as they are creative."


 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"All the hype is true! Look no further! We have been using Calvin to capture our family for the last 5 years! Every photoshoot, we are absolutely blown away. Calvin has a beautiful art of not only capturing smiles but souls! From capturing the birth of our son, to newborn family photos in our home, to driving to Big Sur, Mammoth, or finding the best local spot. Calvin is able to look at something ordinary, or even extraordinary, and find a million different ways to interpret what he’s seeing and convey those interpretations in beautiful and meaningful photos. Amongst our friends, we call Calvin, “magic”! We have referred him to everyone seeking a photographer. I constantly have people asking me who our photographer is when they see the photographs. Our family truly sees the value of the service Calvin provides. His work is simply priceless and displayed around our home as beautiful memories and work of art. You will not find a more talented, creative, and experienced photographer. Calvin’s dedication to his clients and his craft is unparalleled. The level of skill and professionalism that Calvin brings to his clients is rare to encounter in any walk of life. I wouldn’t hire anyone else. Ever."


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Calvin Hobson was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. He is genuine, personable, and truly cares about you. He worked every second of our wedding (along with his secondary photographer, also great) so that he didn’t miss a single moment. My husband and I love our pictures from both the wedding and engagement. I know some of my friends and family are ordering prints from him because they love the photos so much. We cannot say enough great things about Calvin and are so glad to have found him for our special day ❤️"


All the hype is true! Look no further! We have been using Calvin to capture our family for the last 5 years!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Working with Calvin was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be, especially during his busy season. I booked him in January for my November wedding and he never left any questions unanswered. His work speaks for itself, all I hoped for was beautiful photos and I got so much more than that. The comfort and confidence Calvin brought with him on my wedding day is something you can’t pay for. The way he made us feel was priceless. He was so professional, kind, and FUN! I genuinely felt the love and passion he has for what he does. I can’t stress how important it is on your wedding day to have someone who just has a calming demeanor and makes you feel so comfortable. I was so stressed out about literally everything but never once stressed about him, and on a day where the whole world feels like it's spinning, that's important. The fact that my husband felt the same way speaks volumes as well, because we’re not the most photo-confident people haha. I cannot recommend Calvin enough, out of all the wedding investments I made, this one was the most worth it. Every bride and groom needs a Calvin!"


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Working with Calvin has been one of the best decisions my partner and I have made in our engagement/wedding process. He’s attentive, creative, and has your best interest at heart. His photography skills are superb, to say the least. We could not have asked for a better experience!"


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I fell in love with Calvin’s work after seeing the photos from a friend's wedding. We knew we had to have him! We have enjoyed working with Calvin and had so much fun with him at our wedding. He was there every second and he and his second photographer were able to capture every detail. Our guests were so impressed with his work. We felt so comfortable with him the whole time, and he had us genuinely laughing and enjoying ourselves during pictures. We can’t wait to use him again for future events!"


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. Calvin has an artistic ability and passion for photography that is unparalleled to anyone else in the business. He is very personable, easy-going, and a joy to work with. Calvin instantly becomes one of your best friends and is a huge resource for all things wedding, fun, and adventure. He literally goes the extra mile and is always in for a road trip to unexplored territory. He traveled all the way to Mammoth with us for our engagement photos. This is still one of our most treasured memories as a couple. Calvin completed photos in a timely manner and he always checked in to ensure everything was received, especially when ordering prints and downloading the files. You definitely want him as part of your wedding dream team. Calvin will forever be stuck with us for all our special occasion photo needs."


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We hired Calvin to take photos of our engagement in the Nevada desert. He did such a great job. He was on top of the crazy elements, wind, dust, etc., and was ready to capture the shot no matter the weather. The pics were fantastic. We are thrilled, and this review is our enthusiastic recommendation to hire Calvin as your wedding photographer."
